Prior to being named President of the 49ers, Guido served as the team’s chief operating officer from 2014 to 2016. Levi’s Stadium has proven itself as a 360-degree entertainment venue in its first four years under Guido’s leadership. The venue has hosted Su per Bowl 50, Wrestleman ia 31, , multiple Pac-12 Championship Football games, International Soccer giants Manchester United and Barcelona, Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Grateful Dead, and NHL Outdoor Classic. In 2017, the stadium played host to the largest soccer tournament on U.S. soil since the World Cup President, San Francisco 49ers & with the Copa America Centenario and will host the prestigious College Football National Championship Game, in 2019. CEO/Managing Partner, Elevate Sports Ventures Under his direction, the construction and year-one operations of Levi’s Stadium exceeded all projections -finishing under budget on construction, with lower public debt than expected, delivering $2.8 million to the City of Santa Clara general fund from non­-event revenue in just the first eight months of operations, and fully funding reserve cash balances for the Santa Clara Stadium Authority.

Guido led the sales team that made the stadium a reality, highlighted by the record ­setting Stadium Builders License sales campaign for the stadium’s seats and suites. The team has signed more than a dozen partners with record-breaking figures in corporate partnership investments, including Levi’s®, SAP, Anheuser Busch, Dignity Health, Intel and BNY Mellon.
